N2 - In reliability engineering and system security, it is of great practical interest to allocate active redundancies at either component or system level so as to enhance the system’s lifetime or improve some other performances of the system. This topic has been paid much attention ever since reliability theory took its form in the early 1970s. In this paper, we review these results in the reliability literature on allocating active redundancies to a coherent system. Using these theories, engineers are guided to design a better system or to optimize the performance of the original system in the sense of some stochastic orders. Recent theoretical results as well as some applications are also presented.
